Dreamer-Prince's hardest rock song? I think that Dreamer is one of the best songs Prince has ever made & I was wondering if this is Prince's hardest rock song yet. Im sure its more rockish than Endorphinmachine or Guitar. I can totally see kids trying to play Dreamer on GuitarHero |

It sounds a little like Queen's Son And Daughter from 1973.   FREE THE 29 MAY 1993 COME CONFIGURATION!

[Edited 8/17/09 6:48am] It sounds to be more in homage to voodoo child than "stolen"  to me anyway.damn it! I had a great quote from george washington but it doesn't fit here. | |

[Edited 8/17/09 6:48am] It sounds to be more in homage to voodoo child than "stolen" to me anyway. It's a tribute..and pretty good n' rockin'!  Imago: "You look  You know, that kind of super-hot, cuteness that gets a guy raped in prison. "

^^ agree. it's a tribute. Prince is paying homage to Jimi and he does it well! "Dreamer" is a great song "The sun, the kiss, the funk for a bliss.

As much as I love Dreamer, I think Bambi is a harder rocking song.  Prince use to have balls....now he has religion. - Nothinbutjoy | |

Check "The last december" at 3'29. U'll find 10 seconds of "Dreamer". | |

Love me some Dreamer. There cetainly is a difference between a "nod" vs kidnapping someone else's art and I feel there's a nod to Jimi.
Why do we scream at each other? | |

[Edited 8/17/09 6:48am] No sir..Purple Rain in no way shape form or fashion stole from Faithfully. Voodoo Child? Maybe, but who cares? Prince has made no secret he feelings about Jimi, Santana, or James brown. All of which he has almost done mirror images of their work. Listen to The Rainbow Children... theres a part youd swear Santana was playing the guitar. Listen to Pretty Man, the work...James Brown 100%! Dreamer, yea, a little similar to Voodoo, but not really enough to claim its a rip off. Regardless.. its one the best tracks on Lotus! | |

Besides... Faithfully was released in 1983, which is the same year Purple Rain was recorded live at First Ave.. And wasnt Purple Rain technically written in 1981 or 1982? | |

The Jay Leno (live) version is much better than the album version. "I never self-proclaimed myself to be anything." - Michael Jackson

Prince HARDEST rock song is still pending...he has a few great rock songs i agree, but HARD? Havent heard it yet..well i agree with the above, Bambi live came close & "sister"live..he kicked it up a notch for 20seconds or so... Hard for me is "sad but true" Metallica..."one" Metallica"..."communications breakdown" Led Zeppelin..."Paradise city" GNR..." r u gonna go my way" Lenny Kravitz..."chop suey" System of a down... I dream of the album that Prince will just tear up and destroy us with adrenaline HARD guitar rock...and i know he can. [Edited 8/17/09 19:59pm] [Edited 8/17/09 20:01pm] [Edited 8/17/09 20:03pm] | |

The latter half of "Wall Of Berlin" is more my kind of rock, but "Dreamer" does slam pretty hard. | |

anyways, Dreamer is sick. seriously underrated. Not my favorite live though.. but Prince just massacres his guitar. [Edited 8/20/09 16:49pm] Goodness will guide us if love is inside us

How can this thread not mention Peach?! Pretty damn rocking to me | |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Peach is more of a blues rocker then hard rocker | |

thebanishedone said: Peach is more of a blues rocker then hard rocker
Right, it's more candied up. Not sayin Peach is a sweet rock n roll tune.. but Dreamer just takes the cake as a more straight forward hard blues rock. [Edited 8/21/09 18:01pm] Goodness will guide us if love is inside us
